Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

64% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


2

Solve 2a - 4a = 6a + 8x - 2 for a in terms of x.

35% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{8}\)x + \(\frac{3}{4}\)
15x + 1
-3x + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{5}{8}\)x + \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

2a - 4x = 6a + 8x - 2
2a = 6a + 8x - 2 + 4x
2a - 6a = 8x - 2 + 4x
-4a = 12x - 2
a = \( \frac{12x - 2}{-4} \)
a = \( \frac{12x}{-4} \) + \( \frac{-2}{-4} \)
a = -3x + \(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

midpoints

intersects

trisects

bisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


4

If a = 5, b = 2, c = 5, and d = 7, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

89% Answer Correctly
21
23
19
15

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 2 + 5 + 7
p = 19


5

If BD = 13 and AD = 15, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
2
15
8
12

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 15 - 13
AB = 2
